Australian Small Company Trust

Inception Date
3 October 2000

The objective of the Australian Small Company Trust is to provide long-term capital growth through access to the higher expected returns and diversification benefits of small companies. The Trust is designed to be a component of an Australian equity portfolio.

Small companies are defined as those companies smaller than the 100th company in the S&P/ASX 200 Index with a market capitalisation greater than $50 million.

Investments in eligible companies will generally be in proportion to their market capitalisation. However, to manage turnover and taxation considerations the Trust may not exactly match specific company weights. A hold or buffer range for sales minimises transaction costs and keeps portfolio turnover low. Issues that migrate above the hold range are sold and proceeds reinvested in the buy range.

This is only a summary of the Trust. For a full description, please consult the Dimensional Australian Resident Trusts Product Disclosure Statement.
